On this episode, Nicole Chenard interviews Nick DiGiovanni, a chef on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram with 14 million followers. He was selected to Forbes 30 under 30, a finalist on MasterChef Season 10, and has several business ventures including Osmo Salt. Nick DiGiovanni is one of TikTok's top U.S. food creators with 8 million followers and more than 250 million monthly views. He was the youngest-ever finalist on MasterChef and finished third during Season 10. He’s worked in several restaurants including a 3 Michelin Star restaurant called Benu in San Francisco, CA. The Harvard graduate is currently deferring his enrollment in Harvard Business School's 2+2 program so he can focus on growing his brand and several ongoing projects.
Nicole has personally known Nick since he interned for her while she was creating nutrition programs for Massachusetts General Hospital and serving as the Wellness Director at the John Nagle Co. As an outstanding intern, he also helped her with the Boston Fisheries Foundation's Boston Seafood Festival several years back. Since Nick is such a big star now, Nicole likes to joke around that she produced his first video, which is on YouTube. Nick and Nicole produced their own nutrition video without the help of professionals (we've come a long way!) and had a lot of fun recording it. Created for 9/11 veterans and their families, the video, "Improve Your Mood with Food," describes the benefits of specific foods and nutrients for emotional wellbeing, as in decreasing depression and anxiety and increasing calm and happy. If you haven't checked it out yet, it's on YouTube, listed on the Nicole Chenard channel. We hope you like it!
